The chances that we are men?

There is, apparently, only a 76% chance that we are men. On some days, that actually seems like a good number.

Block the effect of the Y chromosome and nature will go ahead and make a woman...and not a bad one...that's the default. Even if the old "Y" kicks in, we guys still make estrogen, have rudimentary breasts, a pineal gland, secrete prolactin and go thru male menopause.

TH, I think you're doing pretty well at 76%!!

Add an extra "Y", by that way, and generally bad things happen...

I wouldn't put too much faith in the analyzer. I put Villainous Company in and got a 71% result. MaxedOutMama was 72%, Dr. Melissa Clouthier was 76%, Megan McArdle was 81%, and Fausta's Blog was 84%. Althouse was the only blog of six women's blogs I tested that registered as being written by a woman (82%). Frankly, you'd have better odds tossing a coin.

"We think http://sisu.typepad.com is written by a man (62%)."

I guess it depends upon what your definition of think is.
